While some medical conditions are exacerbated by consumption of alcoholic beverages, this is not always the case. Surprisingly, these studies instead came to the conclusion that drinking moderately could reduce the intensity of symptoms.

Mission and vision act as rails to a train. They frame direction and purpose and assist in reaffirming the common foundation from which proponents of a shared mission guide their work. Mission and vision are bound together as core expressions of a mutual goal and strategy. These rails are nothing without the train. Alone they are only structure, together they guide a relationship. Focusing on relationship as the most precious asset of a charitable organization allows one to acknowledge the value of individual and group interaction.

Relationship is the medium through which transformational energy is conveyed. A drummer boy without an army is only setting time for himself, where in the company of soldiers he is saving collective energy and catalyzing the group’s movement. The sound beat from the drum is transformative when received in the proper company. The beat echoes the rules within a group as the wrap governs and promotes predictable and acceptable actions.

If the drummer boy has no rhythm or the army has not learned to march in time with the melody then it is here that the course can be corrected, where rules for specific responses to specific sounds can add value. Too many times a nonprofit leads its self astray by not valuing the relationship with accepted laws that govern proper interactions between individuals.

The sexual escapades of Bill Clinton set the table for dialog about the importance of accurate and honest reporting. President Clinton became entangled over his use of language in describing his lawful relationship with a Monica Lewinsky. The impeachment charges against him were not founded on sexual misconduct but on allegations of perjury. The Presidents’ private, personal relationship triggered a formal application of codified law to remove him from office. The public role that President Clinton was elected to elevated every relationship of his to a relationship of interest to every citizen of the United States of America.

In the non-profit sector staff and volunteers have legally binding responsibilities. Trustees are fiduciaries and they have the duty of care, duty of loyalty, and duty of obedience. Their duty of care includes the expectation that a volunteer or paid director will carry out behavior that most volunteers consider expected such as the use of independent judgment, offering oversight of finances, and reviewing the information provided to them by staff. Trustees and staff have a duty to be aware of the laws that govern their practice. Thus a duty of care for the Drummer Boy is to read the signals from the Field Marshal. The Drummer Boy’s duty of loyalty includes not telling the other kids the pace for tomorrows march and not leading the march for the other army. The duty of obedience refers to the responsibility of compliance to legal statutes.

It is through relationships that mission and vision dictate the language of the song we sing and the meter and cadence. The clarity and volume are dictated by the supporters whose relationship is well defined and understood. The organizational relationship to, volunteers, staff, community partners and rules that govern them is the most important asset that a charitable organization possess. This lattice of relationships is the fabric that generates and harnesses the energy that propels an organization to impact a community.
